“I definitely think that the fashion industry, and people in general, look at me more now that I’ve lost the weight,” Kardashian explained. “Even on shoots, I would never have options for clothing. There would always be this attention on Kourtney [Kardashian] and Kim [Kardashian], but I was too much work for [stylists] or they had nothing in my size. I wasn’t even that crazy big!”

“People actually said, ‘I just can’t work with you’ — because I was too big. That always hurt my feelings, of course,” she added.

Though Kardashian has grown stronger both physically and emotionally, she’s also turned into a total bad ass when it comes to her fitness regimen.

“I’m a beast at the gym,” she said. “I’m super competitive and I’m a sweater. I’m like, ‘Don’t f–k with me and don’t mess up my routine.”
